McKenzie Spaulding - Nighttime Wonders

Amid the stary night
Stands a girl beneath a tree.
She stands frozen in time.
Eyes probing each star
Searching for a pattern
A reason for thier exsitence.
Her hand - as if of its own accord
Caresses the rough bark.
She has a kinship to the tree and the stars
They are her family
Her source of happiness
Among the teriffying solitude of her lonesome life.
